"It is apparent that an internet hoax has taken aim at State Farm Arena. Recent posts on social media alleged a criminal incident occurred at State Farm Arena during an event last week. Allegations of this nature are extremely serious and with the safety of our guests a top priority, a deliberate investigation was undertaken that included the Atlanta Police Department, a thorough review of video from the event and comprehensive examination of social media accounts propagating the allegation. Through these processes, it was confirmed that the claim originated from a fake social media account posting doctored screenshots of an exchange with our State Farm Arena account that never occurred. Subsequent posts regarding the supposed incident have largely been sourced to fake accounts or ‘bots’. We thank APD for their partnership throughout this process."
